[App_rpt-users] Regarding Dial installation..

[Ryan Mayton]

Well now I don't feel so bad. As a newbie to Allstar, I just got my nodes up and going with some help from folks on here. It was suggested that I had a bad OS download on my first attempt to connect. So went back to the wiki site for a fresh Download and it just kept coming back corrupted. I too worked on it for two days straight.
If a Veteran Allstar operator like Loren had trouble, makes me feel like not such a loser after all! LOL

I have finally  gotten a clean installation in a VM.. I am posting this VM public for everyone to be able to download in the event you can't get allstarlink installed.. The password is the default usernaame: repeater password: allstarlink Just as listed in the wiki.. I also posted the iso files as well.. I still think this was a scripting issue some where and I think that we need to be much more careful in how we handle allstarlink stable distro in the future.. We need to make sure that Stable is Stable and create test versions rather than make random changes.. I am thankful and grateful for everyones help during this entire problem however if i was some one that wasn't familiar with linux i would have given up by now for sure..  Their is no excuse for failed installations with a stable iso. Below will be the links to where i have stored these for everyone's download just as a just in case basis..

I think that either a script was mis typed for some reason or file extensions didn't match during installation on the second boot duration as seen in my video here.. https://youtu.be/WKkEg-EEyNc It seemed to get stuck during the second boot where typically it would install allstarlink and do its thing.. I am not a huge fan of over the internet installations for the project however i understand why we have been doing it.. From time to time I think we should get together and store full iso images for installation on sites with no network or limited internet access..
